    purely technical critique. Thorin's mic level is wayy louder than Maui and Moses. I keep having to adjust the volume everytime Moses or Maui speak, and then reduce it when Thorin speaks. Use a compressor maybe, or just reduce the overall level.

    I totally agree that the seeding at majors is so incredibly broken. As Moses said it is no fault of Vitality's, but on paper the 'strongest' team they played were G2 who are currently ranked 6th and were number 1 at the time (I believe).
    I cannot think of another esport where a team would play teams this 'weak' in a Tier 1/World Championship event.

    • @Warrior-b7d

Dupreeh proved he can win on an English-speaking team where he has basically no star roles. Of course I can agree s1mple is the best, but Thorin discredits the win as if it has no merit for Dupreeh's legacy on the game because he isn't putting up star numbers.

    Dev1ce may not have the sexiest play style to watch, but he does have one of the sexiest play styles to analyze. I still find it astonishing that he never ended up being HLTV #1 (I guess S1mple had something to do with that). For me, Dev1ce was the GOAT until 2021, at which point I think S1mple definitely overtook him.

    Heroic being seeded 5th at the Legends Stage has very little to do with regions. They were ranked 5th, as they finished 2nd in their group, as 9ine had a better Buchholz score. And then the Europe A was ranked higher (also had an extra legends spot) than Europe B. So that placed Heroic beneath 9ine, who "won" their group based on Buchholz, and then the two 3-0 winners of EU A, which was NaVi and Fnatic.
    #1 - NaVi - Winner of Europe-A based on Buchholz
    #2 - 9ine - Winner of Europe-B based on Buchholz
    #3 - Fnatic - Runner up in Europe-A based on Buchholz
    #4 - Furia - Winner of the American RMR
    #5 - Heroic - Runner up in Europe-B based on Buchholz.
    So yes, Furia was ranked above them, but otherwise it was down to Buchholz and the fact that the European Group A was seen as better than European Group B.

    Just out if interest does anyone think there is a possibility within the next year of Yekindar going to Navi if Liquid keeps having poor results? Feel like this is very possible due to him now belonging to Liquid meaning that if Navi bought him out they wouldn't be contributing to the Russian economy due to the war. Think Yeki, B1t and Simple could be a deadly trio for the team but would love to hear what everyone thinks! Think it's been quite overlooked how disappointing Navi's results have been for this major and it's clear that either something needs to change or they just have to pray that Simple's form returns to his god tier performances from 2021 which is far less reliable than finding a second or third star like Yekindar.

    Hltv ranking are a joke. Liquid win 1 game on partnered event =+2 in rank. 9nine or Monte win 35 games in t2 = +1 on ranking.
    Btw apeks and monte are now in the top10. Technically, they are top10 teams.Those t1 teams shit the bed in bo3 against gl, itb and apeks.
    Then Navi's major would also be weak major. G2 with amanek and jackz, Vitality with kyojin, missuta, Tl with stewie and Fallen etc.
    These teams are so called "weak", because they do not have Blast and ESL partenerships, thus they do not get to show their talent on big stages, also hampering their rankings.
    Once or twice can be called a fluke, but if upsets are happening so frequently, then maybe, T1 teams are not as strong as you think they are. For e.g. Monte beating Navi ITB beating Faze, ITB beating Fanatic, Apeks beating NIP, Apeks beating Liquid, Gamelegion beating Heroic and so many more.
    Also Vitality have recently beaten G2, they won Rio beating C9, Heroic, Faze, OG. The only team that could have beaten them in the majors was just Heroic, and fine I would have loved to see it, but again Cadian had to be a hero, did a stupid play and lost their team the map on Inferno. Rest all teams had either mental flaws (like G2 choking on Vertigo, or roster changes needed to happen (like Navi).
    So keep discrediting Vitality's run and hoping Vitality players are really sad because "in the future" some random chronically online people will "look back" and say that "their major was too easy compared to x,y,z" for purposes of arguing with each other on the internet. Or because some random internet accounts decide to rank the major runs and vitality's at the bottom which means... absolutely nothing.
